Three numbers that tell you everything

Place your mechanical watch near the microphone. Tickscope listens to the tick-tock rhythm and extracts the same measurements used by professional watchmakers and service centers.

Rate
Seconds gained or lost per day
Beat Error
Balance wheel symmetry
Amplitude
Mainspring energy

No cables. No adapters. No $500 equipment. Just your phone and your watch.

How it works

3
Watch the plot build in real time
